Veteran's Day Parade
Sadly, a low turn out in our little town, guess lots of folks had a three day weekend and boogied.
I marched in honor of my late uncle Don Macdonald who was a T/Sgt with Lima Company, 147th Inf, 45th Division. He fought across France and Germany with a Thompson submachine gun. His company was first to liberate Dachau.
Wore my Macdonald tartan USA Kilts semitraditional, our family colors. Did carry my replica KayBar Skien Dubh for my own meager service.
And, sadly, the well meaning young ladies with the flag in the background didn't have the same education we get about flag protocal.
First time I've worn hose up with flashes and boots...seemed to work okay in olive drab.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
